"Spruce up with Cypress!"

Together you ran laughing and hollering from the street corner and leapt over a great puddle and into the park's front gates. Like wild children you ran the gravel paths, winding through the great coniferous trees, kicking pine cones playfully at one another. The rain comes down so hard it's impossible to pretend that you might make it home dry, and so you kick water from a puddle and watch the stream of water disappear into the falling droplets. As suddenly as it started, the sun comes roaring through the clouds. A sunshower! Being totally swept up by the moment, you twirl and hug, smelling clean, damp skin, an intoxicating, sweet musk and the pure woodsy scent of the cypress trees around you. Blocks away, traffic rages on. But in this park, you are protected from the outside world.

Description

Protect your skin from city damage, with these fragrant, nourishing and purifying plant oils (but perfect for the country, too!). This antioxidant-rich facial oil contains 5 powerful yet light plant oils, with a refreshing blend of essential oils that decongest skin and regulate sebum production. We also use plant resins that give this oil a deep green woodsy scent, that finishes with a light, citrus and vanilla-like scent on the skin. This oil is quickly absorbed and lighter than other facial oils. Also, makes a fantastic after-shave oil for men. Ideal for combination, "normal" and acne-prone skin who want to balance oil production and protect against environmental damages. This facial oil can be worn alone, or under moisturizer and/or makeup.

Who is it for?:

Oily, combination and acne-prone skin in need of balance and decongestion.

How to Use

Benefits

Cypress oil helps purify pores while conditioning skin to a silky softness, and has purported cell-renewal properties. It helps regulate sebum (facial oil) production, which helps diminish break-outs. Bergamot essential oil helps soothe skin irritations. Both of these essential oils are used by aromatherapists to create a sense of calm, and Cypress is known to help people through times of transition (we're guessing it's useful for job interviews and getting stuck in traffic as well). (NB. We use bergaptene-free Bergamot, so this oil will not make skin photo-sensitive.) Rice Bran oil has been shown to improve microcirculation in the skin, and is rich in antioxidants, such as vitamin E and oryzanol, and squalene which helps support collagen. Research also suggests that the oil can help skin reduce absorption of UV rays, lessening the aging effects of the sun. Traditionally, it has been used as a natural SPF, and is said to be one of Japan's best-kept beauty secrets (until now, that is!). Camellia seed oil and Argan oil are beautiful, light oils that are rich in antioxidants that rejuvenate and revitalize dull, tired skin. Sweet almond oil and Apricot kernel oil both benefit all skin types, are easily absorbed and are highly nourishing, rich in vitamins and antioxidants. Both oils leave skin soft and well conditioned.
